Afternic Gains Endurance

Premium domain marketplace Afternic has teamed up with the Endurance International Group in a partnership that will bring Afternic a noteworthy collection of fast transfer-enabled domains.

Endurance is one of the top ICANN-accredited registrars and providers of domains, as well as Web hosting and other online services for small- and medium-sized businesses. It also happens to offer the fastest transfer domains worldwide for sale through its various brands, which include Domain.com and Dotster.

Now, the customers of Endurance’s businesses can see the AfternicDLS inventory of domains whenever they do a domain search. Plus, they will now have the opportunity to list their domains in Afternic’s system, which puts them in a huge marketplace and makes them available to many more potential customers.

After combining the number of domain registrations made by its hosting companies and registrars, Endurance International Group is actually the third largest domain registrar on the Web, largely because it works with a number of very large hosting companies, like HostGator, BlueHost and Fatcow.

For now, Afternic domain listings are live on Domain.com, and they’re expected to appear on other Endurance brands over the next few weeks.
